Ben Simmons and Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell were unanimous selections for the NBA all-rookie first team, announced Tuesday.
This comes as no surprise. The 76ers point guard, Mitchell and Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum are the finalists for rookie of the year.
The votes for both regular-season awards were submitted by the media in April. The rookie-of-the year finalists are the top three vote-getters for the first team. The rookie of the year will be announced at the NBA awards show in Santa Monica, Calif., on June 25.
